Rosenqvist, who has already shown strong qualifying form so far this season starting third and seventh in the first two rounds, is eager to return to the site where he scored his sixth career pole position and the first for MSR.
Armstrong, who will be making his third start on the streets of Long Beach is ready to bring his road-course expertise to the fast and technical layout. Armstrong scored a top ten result in his debut at the circuit in 2023 and a 12th place result last year and is now hoping to build on those results this season with MSR.

Meyer Shank Racing Team Quotes:
Felix Rosenqvist: “Getting pole at Long Beach last year was pretty exciting for myself and the whole team and it’s definitely something that we are aiming to do again this year. The MSR cars have a pretty strong street course package, so hopefully we can roll off of the trucks with some good momentum. I feel like we have a little bit of unfinished business at Long Beach after last year’s race result. It’s a track that suits me well and I’m hungry for a good finish there.”
Marcus Armstrong: “I would say that it’s one of my favorite race weekends of the year in terms of event and track layout, not to mention the nice Californian weather. I’ve had good races here in the past and I hope that we can build on our momentum of street courses. I think we have a strong car and I will be looking to improve on our results from Thermal.”
